They haven't been corrected in my case, or the cases of quite a few
other folks experiencing them (see some of the other ongoing threads).

I'm not personally seeing any LOR's, but audio playback slows down under
load, and every few seconds I hear popping noises during audio playback,
whether under load or not.

I've got a simple SB16:
pcm0: <Creative CT5880-C> port 0xd800-0xd83f irq 5 at device 15.0 on
pci0
pcm0: <TriTech TR28602 AC97 Codec>
